I met my internet best friend this summer and I think that's how she felt about me.

We had an okay time together but our friendship doesn't feel the same anymore (in a bad way) and it's 100% my fault because I was agressively insecure all the time. I was meeting someone from the internet for the very first time and it was also the very first time I left my country completely on my own.

However, that trip and meetup changed me a lot for the better. I feel like I matured a lot after that.

I hope she will forgive me and give me a second chance. I will also very much understand if she doesn't.

Have you talked to her about how you feel?

[–] pan0wski@infosec.pub 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No, I haven't.

I know that I should but I'm having a hard time getting myself to talk about it.

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Easiest way out which will still be helpful: send her the link to that comment of yours.

[–] pan0wski@infosec.pub 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I was actually thinking about that.

[–] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 1 points 4 months ago

I second you should send her that link.

It’s very possible that she felt nervous or something too.

Years and years ago, I was really active on a forum, and one of the members did this world trip, couch surfing with different members of the forum and seeing the world. She and I weren't good friends. In fact, she irritated me a bit, nothing in particular, just... Didn't vibe. At all. But a leg of her trip was taking through my state, and she needed a place to crash, so I said fuck it, sure.

She stayed with her best friend from the forum in Boston, and it was a complete bust. They didn't get along, Boston friend found her irritating, grating, and overwhelmingly boring.

Then she got to my place, and I made a new best friend. We got along so well she stayed an extra 2 days, and we had a fucking blast.

Irl/online can be a major difference, one from the other

Most people hate me both online and in person.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You must be very consistent across the board. Can I ask what people hate about you?

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I'm a confident asshole that will consistently disappoint you, baby. Some folks find that charming at first but I'm always able to eventually correct their misconception.

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Completely unrelatable, but I’m really sorry for anyone this happens to.

[–] BlessedDog@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Going to meet an internet friend abroad in three days, and I am petrified 🥲

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Counterexample. Over the pandemic I met some people as a d&d group. Two years later we all met up for a vacation together and had a blast (ok one woman didn't vibe great but the rest did). This past year at one's wedding we met each others' partners and everyone had an amazing time. In fact we had such a good time that when my wife and I were deciding what blue city to flee our red state to we picked the home city of one of those friends, and we're going to crash with her for a little while while we look for an apartment. In addition to being closer to her, the whole friend group will be on the west coast making trips together easier, which we're all excited for

[–] BlessedDog@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Thats good, that makes me feel a bit easier; hearing success stories. I'm still just a teen who's never traveled outside of countries where I know I have a safety net, so this is a bit stressful.

Regarding the part about fleeing your state, I am not american, but I hope you guys find a safe environment, and I hope you work through the troubles brewing in your country right now.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah its gonna be stressful and I can't tell you it will go well, but it might. Adventures like this are good for people your age as well. Having a plan for if it goes poorly is a good idea. Video calling beforehand is generally wise because it can guarantee you aren't being catfished and that you vibe in real time.

Go in expecting a good time and prepared to show a good time. And while it sucks if irl you don't get along it's ok. There's a saying in America that bad times make for good stories. Your teenage and young adult years are for adventures and building experience. It's scary and exciting and no matter how it goes you'll probably be glad you did it when you're older.

My story isn't even the only great time I've had with internet friends. If I'm near anyone I know these days I'll at least try to swing by for a meal.

So what's most likely to happen? Probably a generally good time. Nothing life changing in any direction though your age is one in which life is quite malleable and it's downright common to have life-changing experiences at that age. But it should be fun, and you'll likely stay friends. It's quite likely the friendship will be different afterwards but not worse, just closer and informed by how it felt to be in the same space. Inside jokes are likely to happen also.

Thanks, I'm sad it's needed but also excited and I choose to maintain hope that good will win both here and abroad.

Best of luck, have fun on your trip

Thanks for the kind words!

Fortunately we clicked instantly and everything is wonderful. I'm just chilling with her dad right now, waiting for her to come back home lol.

I felt alienated first, since this is the first time I'm in a country thats unfamiliar, where I dont know directions or landmarks. Weird feeling.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Wonderful! And savor that weird feeling, it's adventure and you might just get hooked on it

[–] BlessedDog@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Definitely an adventure so far, we started dating a few months ago and it's been wonderful. I've made a bunch of new friends through her as well and have even been invited to a wedding in Sweden O_o

Crazy how things can change so quickly
